“You would kill yourself at this rate”. Claire voices out as she painfully watched Marissa train and train for hours without rest. She had skipped breakfast and almost skipped lunch, if not for Claire who made her realize that if she skipped lunch, her mate would definitely know that something was wrong. The man already noticed that something was up but blamed it on the shock and healing of her wounds. “I must be able to defend myself from anyone and anything and I know I can do it within a short time. You saw how I learnt moves so fast during practice, right?”. She asked enthusiastically as she panted from all the moving about she had been doing. Funny enough, her enthusiasm made it even more sad to Claire who started to tear up, and tried to hide by sneakily wiping her eyes, an action which did not skip Marissa’s notice. “What is it?”. Marissa asks, stopping to pay full attention to Claire as she was one who could not focus on two things at the same time. “You have not told m
It felt so weird to be so hyper aware. To be able to see things and people before they appear, to be able to smell every single little thing, down to the earth beneath the grass and flowers but at the same time, it was what she wanted. It had been a week since she started training nonstop and having Claire cover for her with her mate. Marissa had to move her training from her room to the garden as Dario had come in one day after everything had been cleared but still got a hint that she wearer a lot in here, and so he asked if she had been working out or was sick again. “She really won’t stop, will she?”. Claire muttered under her voice as she walked towards Marissa, wanting to know if she could hear that too because the woman ha been hearing almost everything she whispered under her breath. It was crazy to her. “Nope, she won’t”. Marissa replied, and even though she anticipated it, she still gasped in shock. Such an improvement in a week, was insane but she was an Oscura so Clair
“If there’s truly nothing wrong with her, shouldn’t she be awake?”. Dario voiced out as he paced back and forth.It’s been a few days now since Marissa became unconscious and although the doctor said there was nothing wrong with her, Dario had began to get more than worried. He had turned the hospital room, where she was resting into his second house as he couldn’t get any rest unless he was close to her anyways. “Alpha” James sighed as he entered.“Still nothing?!”. Dario exclaimed, gradually losing his mind. It had been almost a week and his mate was unconscious and there was nothing he could do. He had blamed Claire and made her cry because if it but it was well deserved. They didn’t know what they were getting into and he had told them not to hide anything from him as they can only put heads together to properly learn how to stay with her, what works for her powers, and how she can improve them without getting hurt or hurting any other person. “I’m sorry, I’ve checked every
“Why exactly would I be the topic of the meeting. My guess is that something is wrong”. Dario stated as he walked back to the office with James “Will you attend?”. His best friend asks, but he shook his head no. “I will not. It feels like a trap, but the worse part is that these were not empty threats and I can fever fight them off. Each one of us in that council and heads of our clans and each, one of the strongest members of their tribes and clans”. Dario stated, the worry very present in his voice and he pondered on whether there was anyway I escape it because this was the worst time to leave the pack. His mate who may be able to protect the pack in his stead was unconscious and according to the book, won’t be awake for two more days. Her body was currently re-adjusting in order ti be able to accommodate such powers running through her veins. “I can not say that I do not understand you abd secobd your thoughts because truly, they could just be targeting you and then bring you
Stepping into the forest, the trees which were supposed to be green and healthy, were now golden yellow and dead. The wind itself, gave off an eerie feeling. Cautiously, she walked through the dense forest, the fading sunlight casting long, ominous shadows on the ground. The trees seemed to close in around her, as if saying they didn’t want her there. As she turned left, down a bended path, a sudden chill swept over her, and her instincts screamed warning, but she swallowed and scanned her surroundings.She felt uncomfortable but continued down that path, knowing that there was something she needed to see but not knowing what exactly it was. A fast shadow passed by her but she only saw the ruffles of the dead leaves on the floor as it had uncommon speed and so she followed with her own speed. She knew very well that she shouldn’t be running after a creature that she didn’t know but she couldn’t help it and also couldn’t stop herself. At first she thought it wqs her mate but th
The look of betrayal in Marissa’s face as she injected her was one that Claire never wanted to see in her lifetime again. She felt so bad and did not want to… actually could not face her when she woke up, and so she left to go attend to some things as they still expected a war. It had not been 24 hours yet. “I really don't know what I would do if Luna wakes up like that again because she can not take another dose of that injection”. The pack doctor said with James seconding his thoughts with a nod. He understood her plight and honestly could not say that would not have done the same or worse. Dario, on the other hand was somehow having trouble finding the creek that should be more than easy to find as he had been there severally, although not for the meeting. Walking through the waterfall where he got the water that he used to trap Marissa after suspecting that she was an elf, brought so many memories and he could not help but smile because he thought of what his life would curr
“Why? You’re really asking why?”. The vampire king thundered out as he almost attacked him from his chair but was held back by the ones beside him. “I asked because what didn’t you all also convene a meeting when my package was constantly uncared mad attacked by almost half this room? All I did was counter attack and everyone is holding a meeting this serious”. He voiced out with authority, not bothering to hold back his domineering presence like he did mostly, in the pack.“That gives you no reason or excuse to almost make them extinct. As far as I know, your people were not really harmed”. The goblin leader spoke up and Dario immediately got very angry on hearing him sisal as he too had people attack his mate but he chose to keep his cool. Anything to prevent a fight from breaking out but he wouldn’t just be silent and hang to their every word. Despite the fact that they would tear him apart if they all teamed up against him, he was not afraid of them in the least. “If they were
Waking up, she looked to her left and right and saw that there was currently no one. Only James speaking to a guard outside the door, and so she sneaked out through the window. She could never forgive herself if anything happened to Dario knowing fully well that she could have saved him, if she tried hard enough. Escaping was so easy as she felt lighter, stronger and faster at the same time. The smile that graced her face was one that could lit up a roommate at the realization that her hard work had paid off and she was almost ten times more powerful than she was before. Before leaving the pack fully, she stopped at the border and summoned a giant invisible orb around the pack to protect it from outsiders. The orb size and strength used to conjure it, had her moving up in the air as the orb expanded from her hands, getting bigger and bigger until it covered the whole entire landmass of the pack. At this point, she was already about ten feet into the air and hurried down so as to
